That stuff sure looks much lighter than the old stuff....looks like caramel. Also, seems to be much harder to get a grease gun primed with the new grease than the old stuff. Realizing asking this is probably a horrible idea, what grease do most of y’all use? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDairy Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Certified (brand) moly for everything. Seems to bee sticky and had good bearing life on high speed situations so stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the Shell isn't good enough???? Or it could just be the thousands of gallons of old stock they have on hand, that they'd rather use up quietly behind the scenes, than sell openly on dealer floors right next to the new Shell products that they're trying to promote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightninboy Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I used to use the standard Case IH 251H EP almost exclusively, still do some, but the local dealer closed so I bought some NAPA 75600 but NAPA raised the price on it, bought some Mobil XHP 222 to try, I think Mystik JT-6 Hi-Temp sounds like a good grease for the money, I have used up some Valvoline VV61510 left over from packing GM wheel bearings, I recommend not buying cheap grease without EP.

I get that............But if it looks and smells different from the fluid being sold on the dealer floor, wouldn't that just open up issues on the service end if problems happen to a brand new tractor???

Shouldn't. Both lubes are supplied by the OEM, and the tractor is under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Doctor Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I attempted to purchase 30W Low Ash engine oil at the dealer (in Ontario Canada) on Friday and they did not have any... they said to use this crap! I was told that it is "exactly the same as what I normally use, just a different jug" . I find that hard to believe. I did not buy any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDman Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Good, bad, or otherwise, that is what’s recommended to take the place of Low Ash oil. On one of the Facebook IH forums, somebody had comparison specs between this oil and Low Ash oil. The Pennzoil oil had a lower ash content.

IHRedDrive Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Didn't realize Shell owns Penzoil brand. @Farmall Doctorhave always used CNH/Viscosity low ash in the gas tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDman Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Looking at Viscosity Oil's website, it looks like they have discontinued Low Ash oil entirely as well. I would imagine its not exactly a high-volume seller for anybody anymore. Between the cost(Low Ash was one of the most expensive engine oils out there) and the fact that there are just not that many old IH gas engines that are putting a lot of hours on them anymore, I'm surprised CaseIH kept Low Ash oil in its lineup all these years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmi Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 pennz oil was used up 40-55 years ago(green white metal cans),total crap for a while then new owners had a blend of snake oils and left overs,like everything else just a name to hype now time was, it was a cheap place holder pour thru until engine could be repaired now we use wolf head at $3.50 qt but little chance of engine repair in the racist woke world of destroy uSA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Mobil has a low ash oil that is used in natural gas engines. Pegasus 505. It's commonly used in compressor engines at natural gas wells here. Thx-Ace 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the oil yakking thats pit there the steady comment i hear from mechanics and machinists is that.. Pennzoil make gunk in a engine. Machinist told me he seen a 401 Jeep with the whole lifter valley solid sludge but the crank and rods were perfect standard sized with 100k on it. Heard same reports of gunky lifter and valve covers fulll of gunk in a Penz engines. Not sure about last 10 years though. This was 20 years ago when I worked at GM dealer Fwiw.... any lower ash content oil (or straight 30 wt of normal ash) is going to be higher spec than anything IH was using 50 years ago guys. So...what oil filters are better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acem Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I was told quaker state gummed up the inside of the engine. Back in the day, good mechanics recommend the paraffin motor oil for use in high mileage engines to reduce oil consumption and leakage.

nomorejohndeere Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The paraffin base oils start to leave a residue behind in the interval it takes to change oil. You can scrape your fingernail down the dipstick a little will bunch up on it. Over time I can see how it could sludge up. I've heard the same about Penz and stopped using it but that was in the 80's it might be different now....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Doctor Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Yep! I have been inside engines like that...FULL of slime! I have also been inside engines that have had IH 30W Low Ash since new, and they are perfectly clean on the inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHRedDrive Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Looking over the Mobil 505 oil Ace mentioned. Sure looks alot like CIH low ash and Mobil has a good product record. I'm going to call a local distributor and get info. Don't trust Penz either but looks like dealers are pushing it because it's a Shell product like the other new CIH lubricants.
